Well then how would I set a teleport screen?
Still does nothing. I think the button itself doesn’t work.
You may need to ensure that the script is under the Button. Here’s a full example of how you can make a TextButton work with MouseButton1Click to teleport players to another place:
--Place this script in a TextButton under ScreenGui
local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local placeId = 11187756726 -- ID of the place to teleport to.
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player)
-- Teleport the player on button click.
TeleportService:Teleport(placeId, player)
end)
As for setting a teleport screen, you cannot directly use SetTeleportGui() as it’s deprecated. Instead, before the user teleports, load the GUI you want to display during the teleport, this could be a screen saying ‘Teleporting…’ or similar.
Make sure you are using a ScreenGui and TextButton and the script is a child of TextButton. Also, ensure the game is published and you have provided the correct PlaceId.
If the button is still not working, cross-verify if your button is working without the teleport place id. Try adding a print statement in the function to see if the function runs when clicked.
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player)
print("Button is clicked")
-- teleport logic
end)
If you don’t see the print statement in the console output, it means there is an issue with your MouseButton1Click logic or the place you have put your script.
The script is in the correct place and my mousebutton1click is just fine. When I click on the button nothing happens, when normally it briefly highlights.
Given that your button is not reacting to clicks at all, it might be a problem with the properties of the button or its hierarchy in the Explorer.
Here is a checklist to make sure nothing is interfering with the button:
-
Parenting: Make sure your button (TextButton) is parented to a ScreenGui object and this ScreenGui is either a direct child of StarterGui or a Player’s PlayerGui.
-
Active property: Check if the Active property of the button and all of its ancestors (all the way up to the ScreenGui that contains it) are set to true.
-
Visible property: Ensure the Visible property of the button and all of its ancestors are set to true.
-
UI interaction: If you’re using a local script which is supposed to respond to interaction with the UI, make sure it’s parented to either StarterGui, StarterPack or StarterPlayerScripts.
-
Click Detector: If you’re using a ‘Click Detector’ part to run the function, ensure that it’s properly placed and correctly scripted.
Here is an example of a very basic functioning script placed in a TextButton, which responds to clicks:
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
print("Button clicked!")
end)
This will print “Button clicked!” to the output each time the button is clicked. Try this with your button and check the console to see if your click is being registered. If this doesn’t happen, the problem isn’t with your teleport script, but possibly due to some UI settings or hierarchy problem as pointed out above.
OK now it returns “Invalid player to teleport”
Ok so now my code is
local testplace = 11187756726
local public = 12059003434
local button = script.Parent
local teleport = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local noclipgui = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.noclip
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
noclipgui.Visible = true
teleport:Teleport(testplace, game.Players:GetPlayers()[1])
end)
The teleport works now, but the teleport GUI only becomes visible on the server side, not the client side.
What you need to do is to set up a Remote Event in the ReplicatedStorage, which will allow communication between the server and the client. Here’s how you should execute it:
Firstly, put a Remote Event in the ReplicatedStorage, let’s name it “TeleportEvent”.
Server Side Script (Inside your MouseButton1Click function):
noclipgui.Visible = true
game.ReplicatedStorage.TeleportEvent:FireClient(game.Players:GetPlayers()[1])
teleport:Teleport(testplace, game.Players:GetPlayers()[1])
Client Side script (Inside a LocalScript in StarterPlayerScripts):
game.ReplicatedStorage.TeleportEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
-- You put your GUI into StarterGui, thus it will be cloned into each player's PlayerGui upon them joining.
local noclipGuiClone = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):FindFirstChild("noclip")
if noclipGuiClone then
noclipGuiClone.Visible = true
end
end)
When the server calls FireClient, the client connected to the event by OnClientEvent will trigger and allow to manipulate the GUI visible property, which resides on the client

The GUI still refuses to appear.
You should remove the .noclip part in the no clip gui (unless if noclip object is a screen gui)
A few things could be wrong. Having the game set up right in the options, is key.
I have a test set up for teleporting a few different ways, one is from a GUI.
I’m sure you will find your answer(s) there … (this is editable)
Teleportation
I got the teleport working, the thing is that now the teleport GUI is having issues.
The noclip object is necessary as it is the frame I want to make visible within the ScreenGUI
That’s great! … Looks like the problem with your “noclip” is you’re calling the wrong Gui.
This needs to be the players Gui, not the set-up Gui in game.StarterGui.
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local noclipgui = playerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui"):WaitForChild("noclip")
The task.wait(3) in this script lets me get away with not having to call all that.
task.wait(3)
local Button = script.Parent
local ts = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local portID = ("12059003434")
local db = true
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local noclipgui = playerGui.ScreenGui.noclip
Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if db then db = false
noclipgui.Visible = true
ts:Teleport(portID, player)
task.wait(6)
db = true
end
end)
I’m extremely confused. This is what my StarterGUI folder looks like, what needs to be changed?
Don’t be, this is easy … game.StarterGui are all the Gui’s that get placed in the PlayerGui, at
workspace.Players.thePlayersName.PlayerGui. When the game starts the 1st thing it will do is copy your gui to that spot per player. You then call to PlayerGui … As in the script I posted.
Run your game in the studio and go look under Players … you’ll understand it then.
first of all, it’s highly recommended to use GetService() to get a service instead of indexing game.
secondly, you should use :SetTeleportGui() instead of .SetTeleportGUI() because the function needs a self parameter, which the colon : already takes care of that, and it’s always Gui not GUI.
lastly, the Teleport() function always needs a Player instance as the second parameter. the Player instance is the player that you want to teleport to level 0. assuming that you’re using a local script, you can use Players.LocalPlayer to get the Player instance associated with the player’s client (device).
local testplace = 11187756726
local public = 12059003434
local button = script.Parent
local teleport = game:GetService("TeleportService")
teleport:SetTeleportGui(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").ScreenGui)
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
teleport:Teleport(testplace, game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer)
end)
:SetTeleportGUI is deprecated though isn’t it?

The teleport GUI still does not work.
